IMPRO'YED FUR-ECX.

The Schedule referred to in these Batters Patent and making part of the same Be it known that I, Mannion F1TzeLBBoNs,'of the city, county, and StateI of N ew York, have invented a new and valuable Improvement in Fur-Boxes, for the protection and preservation of fui-s, fur garments, and. other garments or wearing-apparel; and I do hereby declare that the'following is a full, clear, and yexact description ofthe construction and operation ofthe same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making a part of this specification, and to the letters and figures Y of reference marked thereon. i Y

My invention relates' to boxes designed for holding and transporting furs, fur garments,&c.; and

` It consists in new and effective means for protecting furs andfur garments against moths or other destructive insects. A n

lhe letter A, of the drawings, represents a quadrangular paper box, lined throughout with Spanish cedar, camphor, or other odorous wood veneering. 0n

' the drawing, this veneering is. shown by the lines in red, marked B.` Y

The letter O represents a circular recess, adapted to Athe size and shape of a ladys mu".

The recess .is formed of paper or lpasteboard, and lined with veueering of cedar, camphor, or other odorous wood.`

The letter E is a recess, of the size and shape of the upper end ofthe box, veneered asaforesaid, and adapted to receive and hold a fur collar, lor other like apparel.

The letter a, is a lid, of paper, lined with veneering of cedar, camphor.. or other odorous wood, hinged with cloth, or otherwise, and arranged to t closely upon the top of recess E.

The letter g represents a paper or pasteboard cover, that tsolosely over the recess E, and enclosing the lid c.

An important novelty in my box consists in the fact that-the paper or .pasteboard constitutes the main or principal feature ofthe' box, as thislining ofveneer is only about one-hundredth of an inch in thickness, and is glued or pasted rmly to the paper body of the box. No shrinking or cracking is possible. g

I am aware that it has long been known that several odorous woods are destructive to insects, or to which insects have an aversion, especially such insects as are destructive to furs and Wool; and I am also aware that repositories have been made of other Woods; and I do not claim either of these subjects as my own discovery or invention; but

What I do claim, as an article of manufacture,fis

The mubo'x herein described, viz, when made of pasteboard, and lined with thin veneers of camphor or cedar-wood, to preserve the furs from moths, all substantially as described.

In testimony that I claim the above, I have hereunto subscribed my name, in the presence of two AWit- IISSSBS. A Y
